It’s being reported this morning that Ukraine tried to attack the home of Russian President Vladimir Putin with around 91 long-range drones. According to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Putin is going to now change his position on the ongoing negotiations.
Here’s the news via Reuters:
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday that Ukraine had tried to attack President Vladimir Putin’s residence in the Novgorod region and so Moscow’s negotiating position would change, Interfax reported.
Lavrov said that on Dec. 28-29, Ukraine had attacked the Russian president’s state residence in the Novgorod region with 91 long-range drones.
“Such reckless actions will not go unanswered,” Lavrov was quoted as saying.
It was not immediately clear if Putin was in the residence at the time. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine.
Putin has been toying with President Trump all year long with these negotiations, so I don’t know that this changes very much.
But just like Trump was upset with Putin when they launched serious attacks on Ukraine earlier this year after previous negotiations, you can be sure Trump won’t be happy with Zelenskyy about this.
